And yet, Broadway appears intact. How can that be?

But all the showqueens are not intact MM.

There's the rub.

And speaking of the Box Office Crew over at ROA, they are some of the

nicest Box Office people on Broadway

-- (since many Box Office personnel are often not known for their patience and grace and good humor).

"What I love most about ROCK OF AGES being nominated for Best Musical is that it IS the best Musical on Broadway. "

I think I just barfed. Oh, and again.

Congrats to all in Rock of Ages--The Best Musical currently on Broadway!

Sounds like an eating disorder to me. Tyra hates that.

Wait... Do we actually think ROCK OF AGES will beat out both BILLY ELIOTT and N2N for "Best Musical" ?

Asking a serious question here. Please let me know if you're actually that delusional. Really.

While I am thrilled at the best musical nom. I was genuinely stunned that Constantine got a best Actor nomination. I had assumed the only potential acting nomination would have been Mitchell Jarvis for supporting actor.

Whoohoo! I'm thrilled at all the noms ROA got! Some I expected, some surprised me.

Tho I absolutely love his performance I wasnt expecting Constantine to get one either, I figured Wes would've gotten a featured actor nom and I thought they would've gotten orchestrations over sound design, still 5 noms is awesome.

*does happy dance*

>>>who isn't brainwashed & didn't drink the ROA kool-aid...

Can't you just state your opinion without insulting others?

I'm thrilled for ROA and Constantine.
What a great day!!!

It's an insult?

But what if the kool-aid tasted good?

I love that it was nominated because it surprised so many on this board who come off so spiteful and snobbish.

I love that it was nominated because it IS actually very creative and has the power to uplift, instead of leaving the audience bored or depressed.

I love that Constantine was nominated because I adore his voice and he seems to be a really scrappy hard worker. Even paid his own way to Boston Conservatory (where the charlston teaches and mentors)by working odd jobs. I think his is a very well deserved nod.

No, I don't expect them to win the Tony, but I now see the truth in the common phrase,"it's enough just to be nominated".

I like the kool-aide-
but I don't think it was meant in a flattering way.

There is already a huge-ass sign outside of the theater that says "5 TONY NOMINATIONS INCLUDING BEST MUSICAL."

How the hell did they get a sign and put it up so fast...?

Kinkos? lol

I, too, now understand what a thrill it must be for someone to just be nominated.

As a long time Constantine fan, I am beyond happy for him. He's worked so hard for this, and he totally deserves the nomination in my opinion.

The show rocks and is a lot of fun, and I'm thrilled it got the Best Musical nomination.

Let me be delusional for a minute or two, okay? I know the odds are against them winning, but it is nice to dream.

I knew it wouldn't take long for Zoneace to show up. What's it like being such a sad, angry, bitter, douche? Dreams not turning out like you hoped so you gotta crap on everybody else? What a coward.

Matt, you cracked me up!

[JazzSquare55]

Snarky - couldn't the SAME be said about you?

Why are you crapping on the crappers?

Do you have a better "life resume" that puts you above everyone else, on a gloriously righteous pedestal?

You are bordering on hypocrisy..
